Why a catalog helps you sell
Clients rarely know exactly what they want. They scroll Instagram, show you a screenshot and ask “Can you make this?” Having your own work in a neat catalog lets you answer with “Here’s one we made last season” and a realistic price. It also saves your staff from digging through the owner’s phone gallery. VogueDesk’s fabric and design catalog keeps both your styles and your fabrics in one place.
The style and design catalog
Each design in the catalog can hold:
| Field | Example |
|---|---|
| Name | Boat-neck silk blouse with tassels |
| Category | Saree, lehenga, suit, gown, blouse, kurta or other |
| Photos | Front, back, close-up of the work |
| Description | Padded, hook at the back, elbow sleeves |
| Fabric suggestion | Raw silk or dupion, with cotton lining |
| Price range | ₹2,500 to ₹4,000 |
| Tags | back neck, festive, bridal |
Use categories and tags to pull up all your bridal blouses or all your Anarkali suits in a few taps when a client is sitting in front of you.
Share a design with a link
Mark a design as public and it gets its own share link. Send it on WhatsApp to a client who asked for ideas, or to an NRI client choosing a lehenga for a family wedding from abroad. She opens it on her phone with no login, sees the photos and price range, and can come back to you to book.
Designs stay private until you choose to share them, so work in progress or a bride’s exclusive outfit is not shown to anyone else.
The fabric catalog
If you sell fabric along with stitching, the fabric catalog lists the fabrics you have in inventory. For each one it shows:
- name and type
- colour and GSM
- unit, such as metres
- how much is in stock
- a suggested selling price, worked out from your average cost plus a standard markup
Counter staff can quote a fabric price at once without calling the owner, and the suggested price always starts from what the fabric cost you.
How it works in VogueDesk
- Add designs with photos, category, description, fabric suggestion and price range.
- Tag them so they are easy to find.
- Make the designs you want to show public and copy their share links.
- Keep fabric stock updated in inventory so the fabric catalog shows real stock and prices.
- When a client chooses, book the order on her profile.
Keeping the catalog useful
Add a design soon after you deliver it, while the photos are fresh. Use the same few tags across your catalog so staff can find things quickly. Update price ranges at the start of each season, since fabric and labour costs change. A smaller, well-tagged catalog that your staff actually use is worth more than hundreds of photos nobody can find.
Who it is for
- Designer studios with a signature style to show.
- Bridal boutiques whose clients choose from past work.
- Boutiques selling fabric who want consistent prices at the counter.
Once a client picks a design, book it in order management and keep her choices on her client profile. Plans are on the pricing page.

Which design categories can I use?
Saree, lehenga, suit, gown, blouse, kurta and other. You can add tags such as "back neck", "bridal" or "festive" to find designs faster.
